It wasn't until all the people boarded the Yufushui Army's warships that Zhang He woke up from a dream and looked at Guo Jia in disbelief.
"Military advisor, are these more than 100,000 people just...given to Pang Tong?"
Zhang He couldn't imagine how Cao Cao would react after learning this result!
Will he blame Guo Jia and Xiahou Dun in a fit of anger, and then take it out on himself, a surrendered general?
The more Zhang He thought about it, the more afraid he became. If Guo Jia pinned all the problems on himself, wouldn't it mean that he would be dead or not?
The reason for surrendering to Cao Cao was because there was no way to survive under Yuan Shao.
You can't betray Yuan Shao first and then betray Cao Cao in order to survive, right?
At this moment, Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"What if I don't give it to Pang Tong? Does General Zhang think he can stop the Qin army?"
Zhang He waved his hands repeatedly, how dare he accept Guo Jia's words.
Not to mention more, these archers in front of the Qin army are enough to shoot him into a sieve!
Zhang He was not afraid of death, but he also didn't want to be shot alive.
"Commander, please stop making fun of the general..."
"More than 100,000 people have been lost like this. King Wei will definitely blame us!"
Guo Jia was also extremely helpless. Pang Tong was threatening every word, so what could he do?
"General Zhang, do you think I'm in the mood to joke?"
"Didn't you hear Pang Tong introduce Qin's military strength just now?"
"Three legions are all stationed in Guanzhong. Don't you know what that means?"
Compared with the belonging of more than 100,000 people, the top priority is whether Guanzhong and the Central Plains are peaceful and stable!
Although Guo Jia didn't think Liu Zhang would send troops to Guanzhong to attack the Central Plains because of some trivial matter.
But what if?
What if Liu Zhang just seized on this excuse?
Guo Jia is never afraid of a head-on confrontation.
But if Liu Zhang is determined to play dirty and always thinks of sneak attacks on the Central Plains, Guo Jia will have a headache.
Even if Liu Zhang didn't take any actual actions and just acted as a deterrent, it would still be enough for Guo Jia to drink a pot of wine.
Based on the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, these more than 100,000 people were exchanged for a short period of peace.
In Guo Jia's view, it is not completely unacceptable.
At worst, he would think he was too late, and Liu Bei would move all these people to Jingnan.
Zhang He also understood what Guo Jia meant, but he didn't understand why Guo Jia rejected Pang Tong's conditions.
"Military advisor, didn't Pang Tong just say to give the people a chance to choose?"
"To the people of Jingzhou, we and the Qin army are strangers. Why don't the military advisors give it a try?"
Pang Tong said that if the people choose Cao Cao, the Qin army will retreat unconditionally.
On the contrary, all the people belong to the Qin army.
Zhang He didn't understand why Guo Jia didn't even try and chose to give up.
What if!
If the people's hearts turn to Cao Cao, wouldn't Pang Tong just shoot himself in the foot?
What else will he have to say then?
But Zhang He didn't even think about it. How could Guo Jia not be able to figure out things that he could figure out?
While Guo Jia was helpless, he couldn't help but be moved by Zhang He's thirst for knowledge.
He simply had nothing to do and was willing to enlighten him.
"General Zhang, don't just use your muscles to think about problems, use your brain more!"
"Don't you see? Five thousand soldiers transport more than 100,000 people. If the people are not willing, what can five thousand soldiers do?"
"Why do you think Liu Bei can persuade the people near Xiangyang to voluntarily move to Jingnan?"
Zhang He was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think so much.
"Military advisor, why?"
"It's been a short time since you surrendered to King Wei. Haven't you heard of what King Wei did in Xuzhou?"
Guo Jia's words immediately awakened Zhang He.
I suddenly became enlightened as if I had received an enlightenment.
Cao Cao likes to massacre cities!
Liu Bei must have spread the word that Cao Cao liked to massacre cities. The people did not want to die in vain under Cao Cao's sword, so they ran desperately to Jingnan.
"Military advisor, it doesn't matter if you try. What if it happens?"
"Nothing unexpected!"
Guo Jia glanced at Zhang He and refuted him harshly.
"I just said you need to use your brain, and you're acting like a fool again!"
Zhang He was so ashamed after being scolded that he quickly lowered his head.
"Military advisor, the last general is stupid..."
"Hey! Think about it, what's the point of even if the people's hearts turn to King Wei?"
"If you don't give the people to Pang Tong, won't he still threaten you?"
"Qin's three major armies, the Central Army, the Northern Army, and the Imperial Guard, are in the pass at all times."
"The matter is already very simple. If the people give it to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang will stay peacefully. If he doesn't give it, he will keep causing trouble in the rear."
Zhang He suddenly realized it again, and the knowledge in his mind increased by one point.
If there are more than 100,000 Qin troops waiting in Yiling and there are more than 100,000 Qin troops in Guanzhong waiting for an opportunity, then there is no need to fight in Jingzhou.
Not enough to scare Liu Zhang from the sidelines!
Not to mention Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Zhang He probably couldn't even sleep well.
"The military advisor has a far-reaching vision, and the general will admire him..."
Guo Jia shook his head, not in the mood to accept Zhang He's praise.
"General Zhang, asking the people is just a trap set by Pang Tong. If you want to survive safely, there is only one way to refuse!"
"Just imagine, if you ask the people today and no one is willing to follow King Wei, what will be the consequences if this news spreads?"
"hiss...!"
Zhang He took a deep breath, his eyes full of horror.
At this moment, he realized how far he was from the top wise men.
If Pang Tong and Guo Jia want to play with him, Zhang He will have to count the money for them after being sold!
"Military advisor, I have heard that Liu Zhang is capricious and has no integrity!"
"Can he keep his promise if the people give it to him?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia finally laughed out loud, but it was because Zhang He made him laugh.
"General Zhang, you have said it yourself, Liu Zhang has no faith, so will you still take him seriously?"
"Then why is the military advisor...?"
"It's very simple. We attacked Jingzhou with all our strength, but Liu Zhang's failure to do anything was already at the end of his efforts!"
"Actually, our army's march south to Jingzhou is the result that both King Wei and Liu Zhang want. This is more like a big gamble!"
"Liu Zhang bet that we couldn't take Jingzhou, we would lose our troops and our generals, and our strength would decline significantly."
"The King of Wei bets that we can win the battle and level the land south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, thereby laying the foundation for unifying the world in one fell swoop!"
Guo Jia paused for a while, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Liu Zhang is a complete outsider in this battle. He doesn't want to participate and he doesn't have the strength to participate!"
"Let Pang Tong take advantage this time, which can fully satisfy Liu Zhang's appetite."
"Next, our battle with Liu Bei and Sun Quan will be the focus of the most attention!"
"We win, haha, King Wei is not just King of Wei!"
Following Guo Jia's bold words, Zhang He's eyes immediately flashed with passion.
After the victory, if he is not the King of Wei, what else can he be besides the Emperor of Wei?
You can't be worse than before and become Wei Gong!
Once Cao Cao became emperor, Zhang He would naturally rise to the occasion.
He was previously under Yuan Shao, and now he is under Cao Cao. From beginning to end, he had nothing to do with Han Emperor Liu Xie.
"Military advisor, are you absolutely confident that you can win this war?"
Guo Jia didn't answer, but there was a little more color in his deep eyes.
